In the minimal research I've done, it looks like .NET might have some
routines for doing print previews but I don't think you want to go
there...

Because we have no way of using MFC,
then you need to go back to older versions of windows.
Heres a simple way to start.
Go here and download sample repmkr.exe
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q69078
This may give someone ideas about doing it in euphoria.

I've never tried to do any printing, but don't you have to draw everything
to the printer like you would to the screen? Couldn't you do this to a
pixmap and blit it over?

I don't see why you couldn't do this. You could have multiple pixmaps, and
use StretchBlt instead of BitBlt. Note that this isn't wrapped in Win32lib,
but a cursory glance tells me you could probably just copy the bitBlt
routine, changing the C-call to xStretchBlt to resize the image. For more
info on StretchBlt:

I was kind of looking for something similar to the print preview found in
most word processing type programs. A button for "Print", "Next Page",
"Prev Page", "Zoom In", "Zoom Out", and "Close" and maybe one to let you
view one or two pages at a time.

Matt:
I don't think it would be that simple.
You would have to create a bmp in memory the same size
as piece of paper and draw everything on it that
would appear on the printed page. Then you would have to
scale all the pixels to display them properly
on the screen.
Yipes !
Good Luck.

I think you should already have those things if you're going to be printing.
Looking at Irv's report printer for win32lib (usingprinter.zip in the
archives):
------------------------------------------------------------
-- use Win32Lib routines to determine size of font and page
-----------------------------------------------------------
result = getFontSize(Printer) -- returns font {width, height}
fontY = result[2]
result = getSize(Printer) -- returns page {width, height}
pageY = result[4]
posY = 0 -- set current print position to top
So you use getSize() to figure how big your pixmap should be, same as you
probably already figured out for the print routine. The bitmap doesn't need
to be the same size, just proportionate, so that when its stretched, it
looks right.

Looks good Pete:
Yes that might work, that is the way Matt was suggesting
to do it. Using a DLL would allow using the MFC which is
overkill but this way probably could be done with just
Euphoria and put in the Win32lib.
